During a recent NBA game, Anthony Edwards of the Timberwolves executed a remarkable dunk that not only captivated fans but also led to injuries for both himself and Utah Jazz's John Collins. Edwards appeared to injure his left hand, specifically dislocating a finger, during the dunk, while Collins suffered a head contusion after their collision. Initial reports suggested Collins was under concussion protocol, but later updates clarified he did not have a concussion, despite a significant cut under his eye. The incident, described by some as the poster dunk of the year, raised concerns about both players' immediate fitness.

This is the best dunk I have ever seen in person. But both players hurt. Looks like Anthony Edwards bent finger (dislocated?) on Collins cheek. https://t.co/zUGwfkWnJj
